Description

A method for manufacturing Packaged Liquid using the physical and chemical characteristics of micro nano bubble and system therefor}

The present invention relates to a method for processing a micro-nano bubble of a specific liquid using a technology for generating micro-nano bubbles, and more particularly, to a micro liquid (Micro Nano Bubble; hereafter referred to as MNB) for a bulk liquid. Phenomena, which are physicochemical properties expressed in the collapse and dissolution of microbubbles (hereinafter referred to as MB) generated in the liquid, and stabilized by nanobubbles without disappearing during the collapse of MNB. Bulk liquid was dissolved and concentrated under more temperature and pressure conditions so that more dissolved oxygen (Dissolved Oxigen: later DO) and stabilized nanobubbles (hereinafter NB) were used. The NB and DO contained in the Packaged Liquid prepared by bottling and packaging the product for a long time and activated in a specific container. Packaged and characterized in that the Liquid is recovered saturated NB is stabilized concentration in the liquid by the pressure change to open the closed container to a shaping countless tiny bubbles.

In order to achieve the principle of the present invention, the following basic means are used to optimize the concentration and stabilization of NB and DO concentration in bulk liquid in a short time and to package it as a packaged liquid.

First, MNB generation and physicochemical properties

▷ Utilization of Physical Instability and Oxidative Degradation of Micro Nano Bubble

▷ Stabilization of Nano Bubble and Application of Functionality

Second, maximizing MNB generation and increasing efficiency of melting concentration

▷ Maximize MNB generation by increasing MNB processing times per unit time

Third, minimizing the emission loss of dissolved NB / DO in the manufacture of packaged liquid

▷ Application of Counter Pressure Filling Process

▷ Application of Resisting Pressure Sealing Process

Fourth, shaping NB re-bubble by pressure change of packaged liquid

It will be described below to improve the understanding of the basic means applied to the present invention.

First, generation of MNB and utilization of physicochemical properties-oxidative decomposition and stabilization

As the core technology of the present invention, the physical and chemical properties of the MNB are largely used in two ways, one of which is to process the MNB process while transferring the completed bulk liquid by using the oxidative decomposition power of the MNB to generate the MNB and physically generate the MB. The other is to utilize the oxidative decomposition force resulting from the crushing action due to instability, and another is to utilize the stabilization technology of NB, MNB treatment of the finished bulk liquid at a specific temperature and pressure to increase the solubility of MNB It is to dissolve and concentrate the nanobubbles that do not disappear during the crushing process and remain stabilized to contain more DO and NB so that nanobubbles and dissolved oxygen can be preserved for a long time.

Micro-nano bubble literally means fine bubbles. Micro bubble refers to micro bubbles having a diameter of 10 to several tens of micrometers and at least 50 μm or less. Micro nano bubbles are hundreds of nm to 10 It refers to a microbubble of μm, and nanobubbles (Nano Bubble) refers to ultra-low intensity bubbles of several hundred nm or less.

Micronanobubbles can be produced by re-bubbling the pressure-dissolved gas or by swirling and dispersing the gas-liquid two phases. Micro bubbles having a diameter of 50 μm or less are reduced in water and eventually disappear to completely dissolve. This microbubble has the effect of increasing the pressure inside the bubble or condensing the ionic flow accumulated on the surface in the process of shrinking in the liquid. In particular, the concentration of surface charges exhibits physical and chemical properties such as free radical generation upon extinction.

On the other hand, in a liquid containing a certain amount of electrolyte, it has the effect of stabilizing to a fine state (100 nm or less), and the resultant is nanobubbles, and this nanobubble has a characteristic of sustaining a fine state for a long time. It has been known to act differently from microbubbles.

Microbubbles, unlike ordinary bubbles, rise rapidly in the water and rupture on the surface, they are reduced by pressure in water, generate various energies, disappear and dissolve completely. In addition, the nanobubbles are usually generated during the microbubble reduction process and are extinguished in a short time because they are physically extremely unstable. This is because the ultra-mini-foam is rapidly dissolved completely by the action of surface tension in water. When these nanobubbles disappear, a large amount of energy is produced, and the free radicals in this energy have a strong oxidation power.

Such microbubbles can be applied to "sterilization" and "oxidative degradability" functions by using the energy that is generated when the nanobubbles are extinguished, and the energy that is generated when the nanobubbles are extinguished and the strong oxidizing power of free radicals.

It is this function that can effectively remove various harmful chemicals and microorganisms, so it is applied to the improvement of safety and sensory function of bulk liquids such as beverages.

In addition, when the nanobubbles are subjected to electrostatic repulsion due to surface charge, the nano-level bubbles may exist for a long time. Particularly, nanobubbles stabilized by the charging effect retain their characteristics as bubbles, which directly affects the cells of living organisms. Application and engineering applications are more likely.

The nanobubble stabilization mechanism is the concentration of negative ions in the water around the bubble during micro collapse process, causing electrostatic repulsion and suppressing the complete disappearance of bubbles. Accordingly, the nanobubbles are physically unstable and extinguish in a short time, while some of the nanobubbles remain undissipated, especially in the electrolyte solution. In particular, water including nanobubbles are not significantly different from ordinary water in physical properties, but are characterized by having the characteristics of nanobubbleed gas.

By utilizing this function, the concentration of NB and DO in bulk liquid and the conversion to oxygen-nanobubble active liquid which is maintained for a long time will be extended to expand the functionality of packaged liquid and enhance the functional quality.

Hereinafter, the physical and chemical basic characteristics of the micronano bubble will be described in detail for a deeper understanding.

바이러스 등의 미생물 제균기능, 셋째, 생물 등에 생리활성을 촉진하는 기능 등을 갖는다.The micronano bubble has a low flotation speed and rises to the surface at a very slow rate of 0.1 cm / s, and many bubbles collapse and disappear before reaching the surface. At this time, due to some qualitative changes, it has physicochemical characteristics such as 'gas dissolution effect', 'self-pressure effect' and 'charge effect'. First, the function of sharing dissolved oxygen, and second, bacteria

Third, it has a function of promoting microbial germs such as viruses, and the like, and promoting physiological activity in living organisms.

[Gas dissolving effect]

Micro-nano bubble is very small bubble, so it is small, so it is less buoyant and the rate of rise to the surface is very slow. Compared to millibubbles, the speed is increased by about 1/100 times or less. In addition, while slowly rising to the surface, a large number of micro-nanobubbles are reduced by pressure in the water before they reach the surface, and then disappear. This increases the time that oxygen can dissolve in water, increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water, making it a more active "living water", which gives it a "clean, refreshing taste".

▷ Increase of oxygen contact surface for sterilization cleaning: All living things are composed of protein. Microorganisms also consist of proteins consisting of a link between C and H. Dual bacteria may be divided into aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, aerobic bacteria (Aerobic bacteria) are anaerobic bacteria (Anaerobic bacteria) growth causing the lines, but to accept the O ₂ is met with O ₂ CO ₂ and H ₂ O Oxidation occurs and dies. This oxidation is the basic principle of sterilization cleaning. Most common bacteria are aerobic, harmful bacteria are anaerobic, and oxygen oxidation is the most efficient sterilization and cleaning method. Accordingly, the more the contact surface between oxygen and bacteria is effective to promote oxidation.

▷ Floating material adhesion injury effect: Ionized dual structure microbubbles are strong ionic and slowly floats with various solids adsorbed and collected. Therefore, fine or coarse solids float more than 90% to reduce the load of post-treatment facilities. To maximize the processing efficiency of the entire system.

[Self-Pressure Effect]

파괴의 연쇄반응하는데 이때에 즉 압괴(버블소멸)시 다양한 에너지가 방출된다. The self-pressing effect is caused by the force of surface tension compressing the gas inside the bubble with the spherical interface. A bubble of only 0.5 micron (one millionth of a millimeter) in diameter compresses in a short time of one microsecond (one millionth of a second)

The chain reaction of destruction, at which time a variety of energy is released upon crushing (bubble extinction).

▷ Instantaneous high temperature generation of 5,500 ℃: When compressed and destroyed by self-pressurization, the bubble temperature rises to 5,500 ℃ which is comparable to the solar surface temperature.

▷ 40kHz Ultrasonic Generation: When the ultra-miniature artillery ruptures, the shock wave including the ultrasonic waves comes out at a speed of 400km per hour. This gives a high-speed instantaneous vibration shock that far exceeds the KTX average speed of 300 km.

And the free radical, such as ^{generation-hydroxy} radical (OH Hydroxy Radical) with a very high energy when destroyed by micro-century carriage magnetic pressure effect: ▷ generation of free radicals (Free Radical).

In this way, together with the instantaneous high temperature and high-speed shock waves released during micronanobubble crushing, the free radicals decompose various harmful chemicals in the water or microorganisms including aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The mechanism is that the negative micronano bubble attracts bacteria or viruses electrostatically, and the high-temperature, high-speed shock waves and free radicals, which are the energy generated when the bubble bursts, combine to destroy bacteria and viruses. And harmful chemicals.

[Early Effect]

Independent microbubbles that do not grow: Each microbubble surface is negatively charged. Minus and minus repel each other, so that even if the bubbles are dense, each independence is maintained and never grows into a large bubble. Water is made up of water molecules (H ₂ O) and the small amounts of hydrogen source radicals (H ⁺ ) and hydroxyl radicals (OH ^– ) that result from their propagation. If the bubble becomes small to the micro bubble, the amount of hydroxyl radical (OH ⁻ ) at the interface is relatively increased, and it is estimated that it is negatively charged.

Second, maximizing MNB generation and increasing efficiency of melting concentration

Some of the nanobubbles (NB) remain undissipated and have a characteristic of being maintained for a long time, especially in a solution with an electrolyte. Therefore, to dissolve more air in the liquid to take full advantage of the characteristics of the MNB / NB and to increase the solubility of the gas in order to obtain a higher concentration of DO and NB. This is based on the theory that the solubility of the gas increases as the temperature is lower according to Henry's law and the pressure is higher, so that the temperature of the bulk liquid contained in the dissolving tank main body is as low as possible to dissolve the gas MNB in bulk liquid. It is to make MNB dissolution and concentration more efficient by converting the tank body into a closed pressure tank while maintaining it as MNB treatment at a specific pressure.

MNB treatment can be carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, but in order to increase the solubility of gas, that is, to increase the dissolution efficiency of MNB / NB, apply low temperature (-2 ~ 25 ℃) and high pressure (1 ~ 3Bar) as much as possible The amount should be 0.5 ~ 3.0Volume in proportion to Liquid Volume. However, these conditions should be applied according to the type and purpose of the product.

Third, minimizing the emission loss of dissolved NB / DO in the manufacture of packaged liquid

In order to minimize the NB and DO discharge loss when filling the container, Counter Pressure Filling and Resisting Pressure Sealing Process is applied to seal the crown in the specific container under the same pressure and temperature conditions as the dissolving tank body. General containers and? Can be used in the chamber, but pressure vessels and? Are used to maintain the more airtight condition and to preserve the dissolved, stabilized NB and DO for a long time.

Fourth, shaping NB re-bubble by pressure change of packaged liquid

When the packaged liquid contained in a specific container is opened, the NB, which is concentrated and stabilized in the liquid, is re-bubbleed and shaped when a pressure change occurs from high pressure to atmospheric pressure.

As described above, a method of manufacturing a packaged liquid containing higher concentrations of NB and DO by the four means and providing a method of re-bubbling NB, which is concentrated and stabilized in the packaged liquid when the airtight container is opened, is characterized. .

In 2004, the world's first nanobubble manufacturing and stabilization technology was established, increasing the engineering applicability of nanobubbles. In the case of oxygen nanobubbles, they can be used in the medical, food processing, and agricultural industries by using bactericidal power and bioactive effects of oxygen. This was expected.

However, MNB treatment of bulk bulk liquids is currently used only in limited areas such as environmental and agricultural and fisheries industries, as it only utilizes physicochemical properties and dissolved oxygen concentrations that are manifested during MNB collapse. In particular, the food and beverage industry is trying to sell as a functional beverage by applying nanobubble treatment to drinking spring water. However, there are few cases of application except that it is difficult to commercialize as a result of not remarkably highlighting the efficacy and characteristics of NB. .

As a result, MNB treatment is applied to bulk liquid to improve the food safety and synergistic effects and functions by utilizing physicochemical characteristics, an increase in dissolved oxygen, and stabilization of NB. By developing and applying these functions to still liquids such as beverages, drinking springs, and liquors, which are non-acidic food and beverage groups, the company intends to establish itself as an industrial technology and expand its application to the food and beverage industry.

It is an object of the present invention to efficiently dissolve and stabilize a higher concentration of NB and DO through MNB Dissolving System to bulk liquid or MNB pre-treated bulk liquid for commercialization. In order to minimize the loss of NB and DO concentrated in activated bulk liquid, NB and DO are dissolved in a product container, and a packaged liquid rich in NB and DO is prepared. Is characterized by providing a Packaged Liquid to re-bubble shaping.

As it has the purification power, the desired bulk liquid is effectively prevented from being polluted by harmful substances and microorganisms and stabilized, and the clean environment system is constructed to suppress the generation and growth of bacteria by self-cleaning the entire MNB treatment dissolution system and injection process. have.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, MNB pre-treatment step to take advantage of the oxidative decomposition power of the MNB by producing and dissolving MNB in a bulk liquid prepared for a specific use; MNB post-treatment step to produce more MNB in the pretreatment bulk liquid and MNB treatment under constant pressure and temperature conditions before filling the product container to concentrate and stabilize the amount of NB and DO ; Filling and capping step of placing bulk liquid in post-treatment bulk liquid in a specific container under the same pressure and temperature conditions and sealing the crown; When the Packaged Liquid contained in a specific container is opened, it is composed of a step of re-bubbling and shaping the nanobubble that is dissolved and stabilized in the liquid when the sealed container is opened.

Operation of the dissolution device, the step of pumping the bulk liquid from the Bulk Liquid Tank (10) to the MNB Dissolving System (20); Dissolving and stabilizing NB / DO by dissolving the NB / DO by converting into a sealed pressure-resistant type while circulating MNB / NB generation of Bulk Liquid in the dissolving system 20; Pumping the concentrated stabilized bulk liquid of the NB / DO; Filling and filling the container with NB / DO concentrated bulk liquid filling and packing machine 140, and the step of sealing the bottling to Packaged Liquid.

More specifically, when the bulk liquid is pumped from the bulk liquid tank 10 and filled in the dissolving tank main body 30 at a level of 2/3 of a predetermined height, the nanobubble generating circulation system NB installed outside the main body starts to operate. While the bulk liquid is at room temperature or controlled to a specific temperature via the temperature controller 50, it is sent to the MNB generators 60, 70 to primarily process the MNB with oxygen in the air to produce MNB, Mixing and dissolving is performed to perform a circulation process to be sent back to the main body (30). When the bulk liquid is filled in the dissolving tank body 30 by a certain height, the inlet valve 31 is closed and further conveyance is stopped, and the bulk liquid contained in the body 30 is repeatedly circulated until a specific purpose is achieved. Produce and dissolve MNB.

Next, the dissolving tank main body 30 is The bulk liquid of the dissolving tank main body 30, which is converted to the sealed pressure resistance type and the sealed pressure resistance type, is continuously circulated by the nanobubble generating circulation system (NB) to generate micronanobubbles, mixed and dissolved in the melting part, and then the main body. Repetitive circulation processing to send to (30) and the bulk liquid in the main body 30 is MNB / NB is concentrated.

In addition, the MNB generating circulation system (NB), which is the core of the present invention, has a bulk liquid descending from the main body 30 to the circulating pipe 41, and then, through the temperature control device 50, to the nanobubble generating devices 60 and 70. The liquid is pressurized and supplied with compressed air containing oxygen from the air supply unit 80 or self-sustained, and then mixed in the nanobubble generators 60 and 70 to produce nanobubbles and dissolve in the melting part. Activates Liquid as the active solution of oxygen nanobubbles. This activating liquid flows back into the main body 30 through the circulation pipe 42, and this circulation is repeated continuously or intermittently.

The MNB generation circulation system (NB) generates air bubbles, microbubbles (tens of tens of micrometers to ten micrometers) or micronanobubbles (10 to hundreds of nanometers), which are bubbles of very small size while mixing water and air to mix with each other. The system including the micro-naver generating device (60, 70), the circulation function for circulating the bulk liquid, and the nano-bubble generation dissolution function to generate and dissolve the nano bubble by mixing with oxygen in the air. This cycle is repeated continuously or intermittently to ensure the optimal concentration of dissolved oxygen and nanobubbles in the bulk liquid. As described above, MNB / NB containing Bulk Liquid, which is repeatedly concentrated and accumulates in MNB / NB, is reduced and dissolved in most liquids, and the dissolved oxygen concentration rises above a certain level. Oxygen activator of high concentration nanobubble with bactericidal function.

On the other hand, some of the MNB / NB remains undissipated and has a property of being maintained for a long time, especially in a solution with an electrolyte.

Therefore, to dissolve more air in the liquid to take full advantage of the characteristics of the MNB / NB and to increase the solubility of the gas in order to obtain a higher concentration of DO and NB. This is based on the theory that the solubility of the gas increases as the temperature is lower and the pressure is increased according to Henry's law. It is to dissolve MNB, which is a gas, in the bulk liquid, while maintaining the temperature of the bulk liquid in the body as low as possible. The MNB treatment is performed at a specific pressure to make the MNB lysis more efficient.

Dissolving Tank body 30 With the switch to hermetically sealed type When the MNB generating circulation system (NB) is operated and the bulk liquid is repeatedly circulated, the MNB is generated and accumulated and the volume of the bulk liquid containing the bubbles gradually expands, and when this phenomenon persists and accumulates, it is stored in a closed dissolving tank. The pressure will gradually increase. The pressure in the sealed dissolving tank is increased, and the circulation is continued until it reaches a specific pressure (Equilibrium Condition) of the head space of the main body 30 while being repeatedly pressurized to a certain level.

In the closed liquid dispensing tank body 30, the bulk liquid controlled by the temperature controller 50 at a specific temperature reaches the specific pressure (Equilibrium Condition) of the head space of the main body 30. More production and higher solubility of the gas, ie, MNB or NB collapse / dissolution accelerated exponentially in a cycle of pressurization at a certain low temperature and high pressure, leading to a sharp increase in DO concentration and at the same time When crushed, the physicochemical properties act more strongly to decompose hardly decomposable harmful organic matter and to sterilize microorganisms. On the one hand, stabilized NB, which is not completely crushed and extinguished, also accumulates and remains.

In the MNB / NB Dissoving method according to the present invention, the Equilibrium Condition, which is the pressure of the main body 30 headspace and the liquid temperature, is defined, but the temperature is in the range of -2 ° C to 25 ° C, and the pressure is Wetting Pressure + Liquid Head Pressure + In consideration of the Equilibrium Pressure, it is pressurized and dissolved within the range of 1 ~ 3Bar, and the amount of dissolved MNB / NB gas is determined within the range of 0.5 ~ 3.0Volume according to the type and purpose of the bulk liquid.

In order to understand the concept of the amount of MNB gas dissolved in the bulk liquid, an example of beer will be described. Their carbonation amount is measured in volume. It is believed that most beers typically dissolve dissolved CO2 from 2.45 to 2.85 volumes. The CO2 volume here refers to the volume of CO2 gas when removed from the beer at 1 bar pressure and 0 ° C, compared to the original volume of beer. That is, when all the gas in 1L of beer with 2.5Volume is removed, it has a volume of 2.5L at 1Bar pressure and 0 ℃.

Using this concept, the amount of MNB / NB dissolved in the bulk liquid is directly affected by temperature and pressure, so it is decided to use the Bulk Nano's Micro Nano Bubbling Level as the Tank Condition Method and the actual Equilibrium Condition of the liquid. Correctly reflect.

In addition, when the MNB / NB melts, the bulk liquid descends from the main body 30 through the circulation pipe 41 and repeatedly circulates between the temperature controller 50 and the MNB generators 60 and 70, but at the initial filling time. When the water level in the main body 30 is detected to be higher than the minimum reference level through the water level sensor, the MNB generators 60 and 70 are operated by receiving the signal of the water level sensor, and the filling is continued to fill up to a predetermined reference level. . After the main body 30 is filled to a certain reference level, the operation of the MNB generators 60 and 70 continues until the MNB / NB processing for the bulk liquid is completed. In addition, the MNB generators 60 and 70 are interlocked with each other so that the MNB generators 60 and 70 stop when the reference level is lower than the minimum level.

The MNB generation circulation system (NB) can arbitrarily adjust the circulation cycle according to the concentration of nanobubbles and dissolved oxygen in the MNB / NB treatment of the bulk liquid or according to the use and type of the bulk liquid. Is key.

As mentioned above, when MNB / NB is dissolved and concentrated in Bulk Liquid, it can be settled for a certain time or immediately sent to the product bottling process, put in a specific container, immediately crowned, stored in an airtight container, and completed as the desired Packaged Liquid. do.

At this time, the filling and sealing method in the container is applied to the filling and capping machine 140 by the Counter Pressure Filling Process and the Resisting Pressure Sealing Process to minimize the loss due to the discharge of dissolved gas, and the long-term preservation of dissolved NB and DO Use a pressure-resistant container and a pressure-resistant crown (?) For good airtightness.

The counter pressure filling process of the filling and filling machine 140 connects the compressed air source with the counter pressure injector and also the dissolving tank body to maintain the pressure in the system, thereby reducing the gas discharge loss due to the pressure change. It serves to minimize and has the following filling process as shown in FIG.

(a) The bottle comes under the filling head and the filling head descends into the bottle and is sealed over the bottle. (b) At this time, CO2 gas is injected into the bottle to reach counter pressure. When the counter pressure is reached in the bottle, the product valve opens and the product comes out into the long tube near the bottom of the bottle, filling it from the bottom of the bottle and filling it very smoothly. This is to minimize the release of gas due to bubbles and turbulence due to Turblance Agitation. (c) When the bottle is filled, the atmosphere above the liquid exits the off-gas tube at the top of the bottle. Off-gas tubes provide the bottle's fill level. In other words, when the liquid is filled in the bottle and the Electronic Sensor detects it, the product valve closes and the snift valve opens to slowly relieve the pressure in the bottle. (d) The pressure in the bottle is released until the specified Low Pressure Set Point is reached. (e) When the low pressure set point is reached, the snift valve closes and a short burst of gas occurs at the top of the liquid. At the same time, the remaining pressure is released as the filling head is separated from the bottle. In this way the foam of the liquid is constantly controlled and filling is complete before the bottle is capped.

Resisting Pressure Sealing Process of the filling and capping machine 140, the pressure-resistant crown is put on the bottle immediately after the filling is completed, the sealing head comes down to press the crown to complete the capping.

This results in a bulk liquid with the desired concentration of NB and DO dissolved and stabilized into a finished product packaged liquid with minimal gas emission losses.
